How to Improve Your Love Life with the Power of Feng Shui By Stephanie Roberts

Feng shui (say "fung shway") is the art of creating a home environment that supports the life you want to live. A key element of feng shui is creating a smooth flow of chi (positive energy) through your space. Chi likes to move through your home as though it were a gentle breeze or a meandering stream. Where it is blocked, the energy becomes stagnant, like a pond choked with algae and fallen leaves. You are likely to feel blocked in life, and your energy and enthusiasm will be low. Balancing and correcting the chi of your bedroom can do wonders for romance. Here are some quick and easy ways to improve your love life by improving the energy of your space:

Do you want your relationship to feel like a tough workout? If not, move your workout stuff somewhere else, and your relationship is likely to move along more smoothly.

4. Remove old relationship energy

Go through your home-especially your bedroom-and remove anything that reminds you of past failed relationships; this could be an ex-boyfriend's old sweater you find in the closet, photographs of you with a previous partner, a gift that reminds you (unfavorably) of a giver with whom you are no longer in love-anything that reminds you of a love that went bad. No matter how incurable a romantic you may be, do NOT keep old love letters anywhere in your bedroom unless they are from someone with whom you are still blissfully paired up.

5. Remove inappropriate imagery

The images with which you surround yourself can have a powerful effect on your love life. Feng shui clients who complain of difficulty finding romance have often surrounded themselves with images of a person alone. Inappropriate imagery includes anything that represents solitude, loneliness, aggression, hard work, conflict, or di...
